The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is the largest predator fish of the planet and for this reason, in our imagination, it has always been considered a fierce “man-eating” animal. In real life, numerous studies have proved the contrary. Out of 100 attacks by sharks on humans,  which occur every year in the world 30% to 50% can be attributed to white sharks. However most of these attacks are not fatal and new studies show that  these animals seem to “taste” their victims but then let go of them immediately and are not at all predators of human beings.
